Marcus Roth leaves Häcker Küchen: end of an era in sales!
What's going on in the kitchen world? The news about the impending change in the management team at Häcker Küchen is currently causing excitement. Marcus Roth, who has been with the company since March 1, 1998, will leave the company at his own request at the end of November 2025. During his time at Häcker, Roth not only took over sales management for Germany and Austria, but also made a significant contribution to the development and positioning of the brand. Häcker Küchen would like to thank Roth for the over 27 years of commitment and loyalty that Roth has shown in his role. The decision to leave the company was made by mutual agreement, as reported by Möbelmarkt.de .
Roth, who was most recently a member of the management team, took over sales responsibility after Markus Sander's departure in November 2022. Since then, there have been rumors that Roth saw himself as a possible successor to Sander. It is currently unclear whether Roth will remain in the kitchen industry, as there are some vacant positions available for sales managers, as moebelkultur.de states.
The Häcker Küchen sales team
While Roth's departure is seen as the end of an era, Häcker's sales team remains dependent on experienced hands. Aileen Wilke will continue to manage the association, supported by sales managers Christian Gasser, Hauke Gnieser, Jens Wickmann and Frank Zoebe. The team remains well positioned for the coming challenges in the industry. New to the management team will be Matthias Berens, who will take over responsibility for sales and marketing from November 1, 2025. Berens is a former Häcker employee and brings with him in-depth knowledge of the industry, as Möbelmarkt.de reports.
The kitchen industry as a whole is dynamic. According to a current study by Interconnection Consulting, the market for industrial kitchens in the DACH region continues to grow moderately. The trend towards the restaurant and tourism sector as a driving force for this development is clear. Germany remains the largest and fastest-growing market, while Austria and Switzerland are recording more moderate growth. In particular, the dishwashing segment has the largest market share at 41.3%, followed by extractor hoods at 25.5%. The demand for refrigeration segments is also growing, and many manufacturers are increasingly relying on sustainable solutions to achieve “zero waste kitchens”.

The entire industry is facing exciting challenges and changes, and the development of Häcker Küchen is being closely monitored. The current restructuring could certainly promise a good hand for the future of the company. We will see how the situation surrounding Marcus Roth and the sales team develops.
